11/26/22 - QB Aidan OConnell, rSr/2023, Purdue

Aidan O'Connell threw two touchdown passes and Devin Mockobee ran for another to help the Purdue Boilermakers clinch their first Big Ten West Division title with a 30-16 victory Saturday at Indiana. The Boilermakers (8-4, 6-3) face No. 3 Michigan next weekend in Indianapolis with a chance to win their first conference title since 2000. Purdue also won its fourth Old Oaken Bucket in five games and produced its first back-to-back eight-win seasons since 1997-98. Indiana (4-8, 2-7) lost eight of its last nine - and starting quarterback Dexter Williams II with what appeared to be a serious right leg, non-contact injury late in the first quarter Saturday.

With Williams, the Hoosiers had Purdue's defense on its heels. Without him, they struggled and the Boilermakers eventually took control behind O'Connell and Mockobee. O'Connell got things righted with a 15-yard TD pass to Payne Durham for a 10-7 lead. Mockobee fooled Indiana's defense on third-and-1 on the next series and sprinted 27 yards for a score to make it 17-7. O'Connell's 60-yard TD pass to Charlie Jones and Cory Trice's 8-yard interception for a score in the closing minutes sealed it. It was a stark contrast from the first half when Purdue's opening drive stalled with a field goal then the offense couldn't get anything going. Jaylin Lucas broke free down the left sideline for a 71-yard TD run on Indiana's second play to make it 7-3. The Hoosiers were in scoring position again when Williams was injured but two plays later Charles Campbell missed a 44-yard field goal and all the Hoosiers could muster was one more field goal until the final play. - Purdue/AP College Football
